No. If they ask you to sign one, you can either sign it, negotiate the terms they propose and then sign a lease, or your last option is to refuse and ask to remain on a month to month basis.
Keep in mind, if you remain month to month, either you or the landlord can give a 20-day notice to terminate the lease and that's it. You will have to move.
